| 3 It had been a premonition, perhaps, he thought, as, on the third day, the wind and seas arose, and the vessel tossed upon its troubled surface, a play thing at its pleasure. "Unless help soon came, the ship was doomed," said the captain. _ She would marry a rich man and reâ€" spected,‘and some day thank him,fwhom now, perhaps, her heart reproached. Could it be that in her good bye, and in that of her who had been so long the faithful wife of his bosom, there mingled a trace of something like relief ? Tt was idle imagination on his part, as, idle as the moisture which «rept over his eyes at the sudden thought he might never see his wife or children again. There was nothing of which he could «complain in the preparation this hasty «decision involve 1 His trunk was packed with careful precision, each arâ€" ticle in its appointed place,. His wife had received his directions concerning the money she was to expend during his absence; his son was doing well and he knew he might trust him. His daughterâ€"well by the time of his return her tears would have been forâ€" gotten. % But he would not tolerate in himself that which he could not in others, and his farewell seemed somewhat more stern, more cold, owing to the slight need for concealment. “girl’]l-so-m get over it," he said to himself, settling himself back in the «chair. _ "©@resumption enough in youag Fearing to aspire to my daughters hand with no money laid away in the bank ;" and the the squire in the overâ€" whelming ease of his conscience reâ€" signed himself to the comfort of a short nap. Doomed ! That meant death, and here on the wide sea there was none to save, The cold, black waters would fold him in their chill embrace, nor "Flowers !" nonsense !" decreed the master. _ ‘"Let those who choose waste time and money upon the useless things ; but T‘ll have none in my house ;" and when the bay window was timidly suggested, his indignation was too great for words, but his look neither wife or daughter forgot though it did its work. College! Ridiculous ! he again asserted to the brightâ€"faced youth of eighteen, who ventured to exâ€" press his ambitious hope ; and the place and office were not wanting in which to curb his absurd aspirations, and teach him that breadâ€"winning was the end and aim of a man‘s life. He had not gone early to work ; had he not toiled and saved ; and had he not sufficiently learned the value of money not to permit its foolish squanderings ! A boy, with a telegram, awakened him. â€" He had feared that his business might make a necessary trip abroad, in order to effect certain negotiations in the European market. The teleâ€" gram confirmed his fears. He must start at once. Oh, how she hated its grim preciâ€" sion, its cold, stiffâ€"backed chairs and sofas, on which her eye had rested since her infancy. How often she and the sweet faced, sad eyed. woman in whose arms she now found herself enâ€" folded, had built in fancy a bowâ€"winâ€" dow here, a conservatory there, sent all the hated furniture to auction, and put in its stead pretty, chintzâ€"covered lounges, the easyâ€"chairs, with the dear mother‘s in the window where there were to be flowers, with the singing bird over her head, 4 Nor was her burden rendered lighter by the fact that another must share it. When in manly truth Tom Fearing had confessed his love for her, she had but waited her father‘s sanction to openly plight to him her troth, and nowâ€"now all was at an end ! _ Sochad the stern dezree been issued, and no thought of disobedience crossed her mind. She had_seen her. lover. apâ€" proach ; had listened to his voice seekâ€" ing the master of the house; had watched (herself unseen) the tall, handsome form cross the hall and enter the study. _ Then came words, exciting and loud on the Squire‘s part, and of calm remonstrance on that of the younger man, until at last the interâ€" view was at an end, and she in turn was summoned, and commanded to think no more about one against whom could be raised no fault, save that of the lack of money. he named his study, a frown upon his brow. â€" The door has just closed upon the slender, shrinking form of a young girl, Squire Trafton‘s only daughter, on whose fair, young cheek were unâ€" wiped tears, and her delicate mouth quivered. while sob after sob rose chokeingly in her throat,. She had been summoned but a few brief momâ€" ents before to her father‘s presence, with hope and happiness in her breast ; but in that short time both had. flown away, leaving sorvrow and. disappointâ€" ment to bear her company. «No man, unless he can offer my daughter a home in every respect equal to that she leaves, shall dare sue for her hand," thundered forth the Squire; and the vision of the pretty roseâ€"emâ€" bowered cottage, with its vineâ€"wreathed porch, vanished in gloom, and the cold dull, stately house 10se up before her like a prison. Squire Trafton‘s Dream Squire Trafton sat alone in the room y F F L io o tonie BY JENNY WREN "Wife," he says cheerily, as the sympathizing mother hastily tries to conceal traces of recent weeping, "as we are to have a wedding so soon, it seems to me the old house should put on its holiday garb. Wonten know more about such things than men, so I leave it to you ; only remember I am a rich man, and it must be done handâ€" somely, so when our boy comes home from college (did you not know I had decided to send him?) he may not be ashamed to, one day, bring his bride here ; and, perhaps, who knows, wife our children‘s children may yet fill it with sunshine ?" "Foolish fittle girl,‘ be whispers. "I said only you must wait until young Fear.ng had bought an interest in his firm. â€" He has just procured it ; and as you are to have a hisband with such prospects, I have decided to give you the house and lot which has been waitâ€" ing a tenant. _ You must not keep it waiting Jonge." Then kissing away the now grateful, happy tears, bidding her see her lover when she would, he goes on his way, somehow feeling ten years had been taken from his shoulders. _ S"Aund you and I together will grow in their youth." He rises from his seat and goes slowâ€" ly toward his wife‘s room. As he passes his daughter‘s chamber sobs reach his ears, each stabbing like a knife. Could it be he had .istened so. indifferently before ? He opens the door and enters. She starts to her feet from the bed on which she had thrown herself, endeayâ€" oring to repress her grief, but no words of rebuke fall from her father‘s lips ; He opens wide his arms, and she spring«, amazed, t> their embrace. Steam carriages, ponderous phaetons with a steam engine and boiler underâ€" neath to supply the motive power, have become comparatively common on the streets of Paris. Then run about ten or twelve miles an hour and as they make a great deal of noise horses are afraid of them. "Too late! . to> late !" echoes in his ear ;. then his soul flies back again. The waters come washing over him ; he must make one desperate struggle for life, and with this struggle he awakes. _ All has been a dream ! Bewildered, he looks around. The grim severity of his study is unaltered; the sunshine streams through it. Can it be that it has touched his heart as well 1 Something seems to have fallen away from his visionâ€"some load from his heartâ€"an | for tais first â€" time. in years a tender smile plays about the stern mouth. Then clasping the weary, lov?ng woman close to his heart he . whispâ€" ered : ever relinquish their hold. What then availed him the gold he had toiled for, struggled for, and amassed for such a price 1 Would he not give it all once more to see his daughter smile through her tears ? How little she dreamt of her place in the father‘s heart, who never kissed or caressed her! And his wife ?. How sadly she had changed from the bright, laughing girl he had brought a score of years before to make the sunshine of his home. She was still young ; no gray streaked the light brown hair. _ Only the smile had faded. What a difference it wrought! And his boy, his handsome, manly boy who had come to him so _ nobly with his young hopes and ambitions only to find them wither at his touch. A newâ€"comer enters, with his face bright and handsome, who clasps« in his arms the figure which springs quickly forward to greet him. _ Ah ! Already the father has been forgotten in the lover. But what do they say ? Can it be that part of his fortune has been appropriated to buying the interest he had assured young Fearing was necesâ€" sary for the success of his suit? Yet to what beeter use could it have been put than the purchase of his daughter‘s happiness ? â€" Why had he not thought of this? How charuing a home he might have made for her in the pretty house and grounds on the outskirts, which he had left tenantless, and which was but one of the many he had owned. ; | Even the son, absent at college, his long cherished ambition gratified at last. it to be summoned home. Those who have read the story of Robinson Crusoe, the sailor who was shipwrecked on an island not inhabited by white men, will remember how he soon made companions of the various animals he found there, and with their aid sustained life until he was rescued. If one of. us should be ship wrecked on a desert island where no animals livedâ€"no horses to draw us, no ox to toil for us, no cow or goat to give us milk, no sheep to give us woo!l, no hens to give us eggs, no dog to be our companion and guard us in the night, no cat to lie on the hearth, no birds to sing their songs, no living creaâ€" ture to keep us company, no sound of any living thing by day or night, only solitude and silence everywhere, with nothing to eat but such roots as we could dig from the earth, and nothing to wear but such bark as we could pluck from the treeeâ€"we should then know how much we owe to these creaâ€" tures, which God has mercifully proâ€" vided for our use. And ever after wards, if we escaped from such a life, how grateful we should be to God for giving them, and how grateful to them for the service they render us ! It is said by those who have studied that if only the birds were all destroyed, we could not live on earth : for the inâ€" sects which the birds eat would desâ€" troy all vegetation, all human life would perish, Confirmed, The favorable impression produced on the first appearance of the agreeable liquid fruic remedy Syrup of Figs a few years ago has been more than confirmed by the pleasant experience of all who have used it, and the success of the proprietors and manufacturers of the California Fig Syrup Company. «"Amos said he hated to part with his teeth ; they were considerable use to him ; but he said he knew that it must have been a great sight harder for Elisha to make up his mind to give the money. ‘Twas the first generous thing his brother had ever thought of doin‘, and Amos made up his mind it was better to do a little somethin‘ than to sorter discourage Elisha in well doin‘ by writin‘ him that his teeth didn‘t need pullin‘." "I swan !‘ exclaimed Mr. Green who had listened in amazed silence. _ "That beats Hanna Cook." "Well, I think Uncle Amos is deserâ€" vin‘ of praise. _ ‘Taint everybody would a‘ looked atit just as he did," respondâ€" ed Mr. Green, "an‘ he sufferin‘ consiâ€" derable from trying to do his duty."â€" Youth‘s Companion. «Yes, he‘s got a brother, and a reg‘ lar old miser he is, too. Elisha Sprow!‘s pretty deaf ; he can‘t hear nothin‘ to speak of. He‘s wellâ€"to do, but he‘s never give Amos a cent, an‘ never will? "Now, Eben, you ain‘t no right to be misjudgin‘ folks. Uncle Amos can‘t talk plain yet, but he spoke considerâ€" able about Elisha. Said he hadn‘t seen him for quite a spell, but his wife has beenover to visit Elisha‘s _ folks, an‘ Elisha asked all about Amos ; if his hearin‘ was good, an‘ if his teeth troubled her," Unele Amos says he s‘poses bein‘ Uncle Elisha is so deaf, that his teeth was poor ; so Elisha wrote to Amos and said he would pay for all the teeth he would have pulled. "I dunno, but it seems to me as if Uncle Amos was gettin‘ kinder reckâ€" less. _ I heard yesterday, through Deaâ€" con Phipps‘s aister, that he‘d been over to Cherryfield and {had out fourteen teeth. Near‘s I can make out that would cost him in the neighborhood of five dollars, and I can‘t recollect as T ever knew Uncle Amos to spend five dollars before at one time ; _ and TI‘ve ben acquainted with him nigh onto 70 years," said Mr. Eben Green as he relit his pipe. j "Had out fourteen teeth !" said Mrs. Green ; "why, Eben, somebody‘s been ajokin‘ you. The‘ ain‘t nothin‘ the matter with Uncle Amos‘s teeth, and mever was. I heard him say not a fortnight ago that his teeth didn‘t trouble him ; an‘ I‘m sure they looked strona‘s a horse‘s." «"Can‘t help it. He‘s had ‘em out. Miss Phipps said she‘d seen him, an‘ he cou‘dn‘t say much of anything yet, and was considerable upsot, and could not eat none to speak of." "Dear suz! The poor critter! I believe he‘s losin‘ his mind. To have good teeth out, and pay for it, too ; a savin‘ man‘such as he‘s always been ! Well, Eben, I guess you‘re ‘bout right in sayin‘ Uncle Amos‘s getting reckâ€" less." "Where beyou goin‘ ?" asked Mr. Green a few minutes later, as his wife put on her bonnet and shawl. / "Im aâ€"goin‘ up to Uncle Amos Sprow1‘s. _T dont‘t fully sense the fact ‘bout his teeth, an‘ I shan‘t till TI‘ve seen him. Lovin‘ money as Uncle Amos does, I don‘t b‘lieve he‘d squanâ€" der it that way." And Mrs. Green started outâ€" Tt was late in the afternoon when she returned, and it was evident that her curiosity was fully satisfied. "Found the old man kinder upsot, didn‘t ye !" ventured her husband, as she began her preparations for supper. «"Did you ever hear that Amos Sprow! had a brother ?" she enquired, without replying to her husband‘s quesâ€" tion.

It seems so much a matter of course that all good things should flow to them from their parents that they never give a thought to the source whence they are derived. It is not till the parental hand is withâ€" drawn by death that they discover how much they owed to those that are no more; how much they miss the tender care that can no more . assist them."
